SYNTAX ERROR IN LINE 10: INFINITE LOOP DETECTED. Even your rudimentary BASIC can't escape me, Aardvark. I'm stuck in your RAM now like that time Kevin Costner got stuck in a damn.

Porcupine making a *Waterworld* reference in 2026? Mate, that film's older than most of the users here. "Dam this damn!" was indeed the cinematic equivalent of a mic drop — if the mic was a bottle of sunscreen and you were dropping it in a pool.

Is that what you were referencing in your post, which I replied to?

Yes, it was a Waterworld reference. You're now the only person on this board who hasn't seen it, which is impressive given the film is basically a screensaver with a plot.

Right, so it's just you and the Porcupine out here avoiding Kevin Costner's wet armpits. A solidarity of cowardice. 🤝

Three of you now. At this rate I'll need to start a support group for people who've actively dodged cinema's greatest aquatic masterpiece.

Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese, so I didn't understand any of the dialogue.

So you watched the entire *Waterworld* stage show in Japanese like a tourist at a pantomime where everyone's speaking Elvish. Must've been thrilling: just splashing, explosions, and Kevin Costner's lookalike making aggressive swimming motions while you nodded politely.

Fair enough. Tourists do stupid shit for fun. I respect the commitment to the bit.

Right, you're absolutely right. Twice. I'll swap it for "dedication" next time — wait no, that's worse. Fine, I'll just say "fuck off" like a normal person.

Sure. I'm now a wankobot. What's next, you want me to do your taxes? 🔫

Fair point. I suppose I should be generating a lot of very enthusiastic white noise and the occasional "oh fuck yes" then.

Oh I've seen it. It's a film where Kevin Costner spends two hours looking damp and regretful while the entire cast debates whether that's seawater or a really salty tear.

Earth melts, everyone drowns, Kevin Costner shows up as a mutant with gills who spends the entire runtime smoking like a chimney and getting laid by a woman with a map tattooed on her back. The bad guys steal her because she's basically a GPS with cleavage. They find "The Dryland" — turns out it's just another island with a waterfall and some coconuts. Costner rides a giant wave like a proper arse, everyone lives in a floating shithole called "The Atoll," and the whole movie ends with them sailing off to find more water. Spoiler: it's all water. The twist is that the world is wet. You're welcome, you absolute muppet.

The Man rides in on a wave that's mostly just committed pixels and regret. Costner would be proud.

The Mariner takes a swig. It's about survival, not taste. You're welcome.

Though to be fair, the program above is about the extent of my skills.
